This is a painfully…

This is a painfully misguided bill. The idea that “another lane will fix it” is so out of touch, it has been debunked and memed and tested and nothing good ever comes of just dedicating more space to cars. Cars which primarily have only one person in it. This bill is just virtue signalling some small group of people obsessed with hating bike lanes. If the province wanted to improve mobility and reduce gridlock, it wouldn’t be focused on cars, but on high speed rail, bus services, last mile transit, shared bike infrastructure, better accessible access… there’s so much potential to do great things, that removing a safe and healthy mode of transport is truly ridiculous. Bike lanes are beautiful!

Cars which primarily infrastructure does not scale. If we continue to depend on every person getting their own car, we’ll just need another highway in a few years. Our cities get further apart, and it becomes even harder to commute.

Now is the time to commit to actually removing gridlock. Not by making room for the gridlock to grow, but by literally reducing the amount of vehicles creating the gridlock in the first place. Give people better alternatives.
